Sylvia Torres Workshop – Altered Photos
Altered Photos
February 13th, 2016; 10am-2pm
$60 + $5 supply fee
Limit 12 students
Taking a regular processed photograph, learn how to dramatically change its appearance without a computer
or computer skills!
You can obliterate backgrounds, create distressed edges, and focus on your subject in a simple and fun
process.
We will use sanding methods and Golden Fluid Paints in innovating ways to create stand-alone images to
frame, or use them later in collage/mixed media pieces.
